Reading 1: Read the following text and answer the questions below:
Science technology
Science technology can be found in nearly all aspects of our life. For
instance, if electricity had never been discovered, heaters, lights, and television
would never exist. Electronic components found in radios, televisions, watches,
and calculators are now smaller and more reliable than before. Advances in
electronics are responsible for what is called the computer age. Because of the
computer technology, information can be processed in seconds.
At one time, computers were extremely expensive. They were rarely found
outside the laboratories and large businesses. Since they are now more
economically made, computers can be found everywhere. Computers facilitate
travel plans by providing travel agents with easy access to flight schedules,
prices, and seating availability. Businesses use computers to track purchase and
sell stocks and perform many other functions. Computers are also used as
educational devices in schools and to guide satellite and space probes.
The battle against disease and illness has also gained much from science.
Safer surgical procedures are now in use including those for organ
transplantation surgery. Many procedures have been improved because of the
development of specialized medical instruments. Some instruments enable
physicians to see inside the body without making a single incision. Others can
carry out essential bodily functions, such as pumping blood or breathing.
Medical researchers are making progress toward the production of artificial
blood, which may eventually eliminate the threat of contracting diseases
transmitted during blood transfusions. One such disease is acquired immune
deficiency syndrome, also known as AIDS. This fatal disease attacks the immune
system, and weaken all the organs.

Reading 2: Read the following text and answer the questions below:
Why does it seem to be so difficult for teenagers to get up in the morning? Do
they go to bed too late? Are they lazy? Or is there another reason beyond their
control?
A growing body of evidence from sleep researchers suggests that young people
need to sleep a lot. Mary Carskadon, a researcher in the biology of sleep, has
shown that teenagers in the USA sleep an average of seven and a half hours a
night during the week. However, 25 percent only sleep six and a half hours a
night. To be fully awake, so that they can perform well, teenagers need about
nine hours of sleep. Carskadon’s work shows that the popular belief that children
need less sleep as they develop into young adults is false.
New research also shows that getting up in the morning really is a big problem
for young people. Tim Roenneberg and his team at the University of Munich have
shown that sleep times change as we become older. In our early teens, bed
times and wake times move to later and later hours. This pattern continues until
about the age of 19 years for women and 20 years for men. After this, the
situation changes and young people start to have earlier bed and wake times.
Roenneberg believes that this is an effect of biology and not an effect of society.
Another problem for young people is that there is a Western cultural belief that
we should be active in the morning. We say, for example, 'early to bed, early to
rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise' and 'the early bird catches the
worm.' However, this ignores the scientific evidence. Children and adults prefer
mornings, but teenagers and young adults prefer afternoons or evenings for
both academic and physical activities.
The timetable of school and college life in many countries does not take into
account the sleep problems that teenagers face. So what's the conclusion? Well,
a later starting time for school and college would improve the mental ability and
performance of students during their morning lessons. Perhaps we should think
about starting lessons at 10.00 or 11.00 a.m. if we want our young people to be
smart.

Write a story (120-150 words) about a scary and frightening experience that happened to you two weeks ago.
Our lives are filled with ups and downs and unexpected events. Two weeks ago,
my friend - Reem- and I had a sleepover in my house yard. It was a quite dark
night, the weather was foggy.
I fixed the tent and lit a bonfire to roast marshmallows. My sister made some
snacks. Everything was perfect as planned. Reem and I were laying in our
sleeping bags eating pizza. Suddenly, we heard strange sounds. I thought it was
the wind. Later, a nasty strong smell filled the air. So, we got out of the tent, but
the smell got worst.
All at once, I heard Reem screaming loudly, so I ran to see what was wrong. To
my surprise, I saw a dead rotten animal stuck in my neighbor’s fence, when I
got closer, I found out it was my favorite dog. I felt scared and terrified. I
immediately called 999 asking for help. Minutes later, the neighborhood was
glowing with red and blue lights.
Apparently, my two weeks missing dog was trying to runaway but it got stuck in
the fence and died. I will never forget that day.

Reading 3: Read the following text and answer the questions below:
Time for a change?
Are you tired of travelling to the office every day? Are you bored with your
colleagues? Do you hate your boss? Then, perhaps working for yourself is the
answer.
Professor Simon Parker from Durham University looked at information about both
employed and self-employed people in the UK and the USA in the I990s. He
found that people who run their own businesses enjoy high levels of job
satisfaction. This is because of the flexibility and independence that working for
themselves gives them. The ability to organize their own working hours is more
valuable to them than earning a lot of money. However. They usually work
longer hours than employees. The survey showed that, on average, self-
employed men work between 54 and 56 hours a week.
Women who run their own businesses work about 17 hours a week than female
employees. Self-employed women work 47 hours a week, while female
employees work about 30. Professor Parker said that people who run their own
businesses worked longer hours because their financial situation is more
uncertain.
About one in ten people in Britain is now self-employed. Annette Fishburn used
to earn £ 40,000 a year when she had a full-time job. She used to run training
courses for small businesses. A year ago, she decided to become self-employed
and started her own travel business. Her company, Spirit lifestyle organizes
holidays to Umbria in Italy. She now pays herself £ 25.000 a year. She
sometimes works 100 hours a week, but she insists that it’s worth it. 'Although
some days I work for 16 hours, other days I can go and meet a friend for coffee
or go shopping.' She says that she is able to manage her own time to suit her,
and this flexibility means more to her than money.
Page | 21
At first, it was hard, but things have gone well. Mrs Fishburn now has more time
with her husband Andrew. The couple, who have no children, plan to spend
more time abroad - thanks to the business. 'My friends think I'm mad to work
these hours,’ she says. 'But I love my job.'

Write for and against essay (120-150 words) about people using e-books.
Everything in life has two sides, bright and dark one. In the last few years using
e-books has been so important. Some people are for but others are against. In
fact, I totally agree with using e-books for some reasons. This essay discusses
my opinion and the opposite side about this topic.
On the one hand using e-books has many advantages. First, it is lighter than
traditional books. For example, an e-book could be downloaded in your phone.
This is a good point. Also, it is available all the time. This means you can read
whenever you want. In addition, it is cheaper. As an example, some books are
available online for free. As you can see, these are all positive points about using
e-books.
On the other hand, using e-books has some disadvantages. First, it may has
viruses. This means, your device might get hacked. Plus, new books are not free.
This is a bad point. Moreover, reading in your device might affect your eyes. All
in all, these are some negative points about using e-books
To sum up, personally speaking I am for and I think so because it is available
24/7. Also, it is cheap. Finally, people will always have different opinions over
this topic with many reasons to support their point of view.

Reading 7: Read the following text and answer the questions below:
Sport is one of those things that make our lives really worth living. In one way or
another, everyone is involved in sports, whether they play or watch it, or just
know someone who does either. Although most of people seem to be interested
in sports, not all of them consider it useful.
On the one hand, we must admit that sport takes a lot of energy and time and
it can be really exhausting. Sportsmen train all day long and have to follow a
diet, which does more harm than good. Besides, some sports such as
snowboarding or rock climbing can be rather dangerous. As a result, people
often have serious injuries. Moreover, sport makes you unhappy when you lose,
which can lead to psychological problems.
On the other hand, sport helps us to keep fit and to stay healthy. Among the
benefits of regular exercise are a healthier heart, weight control and less
illnesses. In addition, sport helps us to overcome difficulties and gives a chance
to gain self-confidence. What is more, sport makes us more organized and
better disciplined in our daily activities. It is also a good way to spend free time
and to make friends.
To sum up, I would argue that sport is very important for people's health.
However, it is not necessary to become a professional sportsman. If you go in
for sports just for pleasure, to stay in good shape or to relax, then sport is
definitely useful.

grade 10. I speak Fluent Arabic and English. I know little French as
well. My hobbies are reading books and watching TV. I am a member
